I’m done with these black mirrors. Already bought my last handset and will run it until the wheels fall off before replacing it with some $50 dumbphone from eBay.
Given inflation this really isn’t too much of a surprise.
didnt they say 2 weeks ago prices weren't going to increase. in Europe we already overpay for apple products how much more do we need to pay, we already paying 1.3k euros while in dollars its 1.1k but people forget that our currency is now worth less than toilet paper, prices need to be the same or cheaper than the dollar or this is unacceptable
And that’s just the beginning! Safe your money better for food
Extra $100, for a $3 battery increase. “Inflation”. Please. It’s been going up every year for forever. There’s some elasticity in those margins that apparently don’t have any wiggle room.
But hey, if they pay, let them pay!!

Exactly, they are only doing what the consumers allow. Why wouldn't they keep raising prices when consumers complain while pumping add to cart in the same instant
Perhaps but inflation was fairly high last September (and rapidly rising) yet Apple didn't raise prices on the 13 Pro and Pro Max models. Plus, prices for the 128GB and 256GB 13 and 13 mini actually dropped $50 versus comparable 12s the year before.
Yea it's backwards. They would have reaped the cash then with people's stimulus money burning holes in their pockets.
that’s actually exactly what’s going to happen.
You hear that sound of an Intel MacBook‘s fan? That was the sound of the joke that just flew over your head
Newbie question: As iPhones don't have "s" editions every other year any more, is there still a difference between byears such that some years there are fewer new features like it used to be with "s" years? If so, is this year an "s" year (fewer features)? I used to get a new phone every two years or sometimes each year but I haven't upgraded since iPhone XS Max so I am due.
I was just thinking this the other day. I think they nixed S because people always thought it didn't add much. But there hasn't been too much exciting since FaceID, at least for me. I think the largest screen getting larger was the greatest thing for me and some of the colors.
So, if I normally by the Pro Max at 25GB and the base is now 256GB, my price should theoretically be about the same.

Yes if it's how it's rumored, the storage tiers will cost the same, but there won't be a 128 anymore. Maybe that means there will be a new top tier?
That’s a relief. The base storage isn’t enough for me anyways, so if Apple just keeps the storage tier prices the same while eliminating the 128GB, therefore raising the base price, it shouldn’t be a big deal. I still don’t plan on upgrading this year anyway. I’m happy with my 512GB iPhone 13 Pro Max
Possibly but a variety of factors can go into pricing. With iPhone unit sales down in 2019 and iPhone revenue down in 2019 and again in 2020, they may have been hesitant to raise prices in 2021 despite rising inflation.
does that confidence turn you on sweetie?
An S year was the same body, but with better specs.
Given iPhone 6,7 and 8 and SE were all the same they’re all your Ss.
iPhone 11,12,13 arguably are the same situation.
I just look at it as an investment. I use my phone all day every day. For work, for leisure, for communication, for hobbies. Why wouldn’t I get the latest and greatest if I’m using it that often.
Same can’t be said for an iPad that only gets used a few times a week in my case.
